personal problems
    #9782527 -

I don't know where to start so bare with me a little bit. Lil background, I smoke a couple days a week and havent done anything else except drinking on the weekends. Last time i did shrooms was summer. Lately it just feels like ive been hit like a brick. Today i have realized that maybe i do need to see a therapist or something of that sort. Lately, i've been staying up all night, unable to sleep, then finally going to bed around 5-6am.The semester just started, and i've missed a significant amount of classes because of this. I just cant seem to sleep, then sleep all day.

When I smoke, I get very introverted. I start thinking about everything in my life. It feels like its there deep down and when I smoke it brings it out. I feel extremely self conscious, depressed, think about everything wrong in my life.

My parents and mine relationship is strained. Ive done some pretty stupid things while living at home. Going out drinking, smoking pot, cigarettes, etc when its against their house rules. (m drinking is social, I dont drink by myself). I recently broke up with my girlfriend who I loved, but I treated her badly and did some things that strained our relationship as well. It breaks my heart to know that she is with other guys now. She doesnt affect me anyway socially, I dont walk around mopping, but when I think about her my heart just races sometimes, and i feel something thats so hard to describe, its not pleasant at all. I seem to have a problem with messing up relationships with people close to me. Another problem.

I feel like some of my friends arent really true friends. I feel like people talk behind my back, but at the same time i am close with them and they probably arent. I constantly feel like all my moves are being watched and judged, and i hate this mind frame. My ex has a lot to do with this as well, i always wonder if she hears something about me and just laughs. Its weird but i dont know why i think it.

I have goals. I want to get a business degree and get a good job and make a life. I want to go to the gym more, get a good nights sleep, stay on top of my classes, save money, pick up a new hobby like playing the guitar, but for some reason I just dont. I'm so lazy, yet i know i would most likely be happier by accomplishing what i want. I just dont want to expend the energy, and i cant figure out why.
Thing is I know I dont have it hard. I have the chance to go through school without debt and earn a great education. I live at home, I have a car, I have a bunch of opportunites if I apply myself. Instead, I'm nocturnal, I miss my classes, I'm getting bad grades and pissing away money, but for some reason I'm not doing what I KNOW i need to do. I have all these goals, but I dont do anything to accomplish them.

I'm just sooo confused lately. I have all these thoughts and I dont know how to handle them. I cant seem to get my shit together, and I get pretty down. Ive read some of the self help things online, and I think to myself what a great idea, im going to start tomorrow. Then I dont. Just like my other goals. I also want to quit smoking cigs, but i cant do that either. I dont have the will power.

I feel like nothing about me is special, my character is weak if I cant keep promises to even myself.

I really dont know what to do. My ex has a big effect on me, and everything else thats going on just makes it even worse. Its so hard to get over.

Sometimes I just think, and it feels like my stomach just drops, and I hate who i am, i hate that im not with my ex, i hate that im so fucking lazy, i hate that im not making my parents proud, and that im not making any progress in my life. I love being with my friends, and not worrying about a thing, but so far this hasnt gotten me anywhere.

I havent had any sucidial thoughts and I KNOW i would never ever come to that conclusion. Ive thought about what owuld happen if I just died, and I wondered how badly my ex would miss me. I dont know why she revovles around so many of my thoughts, its just weird. But i do know that life is too precious, and what im feeling now, for the next month, or couple months, isnt worth making some ass-irrational decision like that.

What do I do? Any suggestions? I do realise everything is temporary. I know ill be happier at some point. If you think I need to see someone to talk to, then let me know, but id also like to hear personal accounts or words of encouragement. I need to make a change right now..Somethings gotta change...

thank you if you actually read, i know its a lot to digest, i still feel like i could just fucking ramble about how i feel right now. just alotta thoughts, no actions....

Also, i feel like my personality is changing too. I feel like im being an asshole sometimes when im talking to my friends, and typcially im a really nice guy, easy going, get a long with most people. I seem to be judging people more, and acting and thinking in ways i wouldnt think of as being a good person. I can be an asshole if i want to. Sometimes it feels like there is anger deep down. Maybe i should take up boxing and let some of this frustation out? Could feel good. I dont want to change. I want to be happy, i want to have things going for me, i just feel soo stuck. Any thoughts id really appreciate it.

ps. I dont think i stressed how much my home isnt really a home to me. I do NOT have any relationship with my mom or dad, and i probably say 15 words throughout the week to them total. I think a change of scenery might be a good thing for me, and to get away from home because ive put too much strain on my parents. I have the chance to move out next semester, which a change of environment could be a good thing for my personal health?

You seem like you know what you need to do to make yourself happy. You know you're not fulfilling your potential at all.
I was feeling the same way for a long time, but I figured out what makes me happy (being kind, productive and soccer amongst other things) and what I thought made me happy (countless bongs and doing fuck all with myself) actually just made me feel worse about myself.

Every time I would get stoned and watch soccer I would remember just how fucking good it feels and how pissed off I was myself for letting myself get so far away from where I was at - playing-wise. I'm talking about myself too much now, haha.

Anyyyway. Start off small, it sounds like you have high expectations of yourself, which is definitely a good thing. It can however, be a double-edged sword, as whenever you set yourself high goals and only make it half of the way, you feel so shitty and frustrated that you give up and feel worse off. Set yourself small goals. You want to go to the gym more often, so put aside a day every week or two weeks and GO! Find yourself a buddy who will put pressure on you to be responsible to yourself. Arrange something like sharing who drives to the gym (you might have one on campus anyway...) so that if you don't want to go, your friend is going to be pissed off at having to drive when you should be doing it...I really would love to keep ranting but I have to go.

Just do it. It's so easy to put it off. Seriously as soon as you read this do something that you want to, or if it's too late make sure you force yourself to do it tomorrow.

I put off the whole gym and fitness thing forever and it pisses me off to think that I could have been working out all those years and had 2 years of progress under my belt rather than starting off at square 1 when I did. So if working out is your goal go to the gym NOW. Even if you look like a goddamned maggot when you bench press or like some freakish mutant when you try to military press don't let that discourage you. At least it's experience and you'll do better next time.

As the Dead say:

"Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry any more,
'Cause when life looks like Easy Street, there is danger at your door."


It's true! So get out there and do it. You have no excuse not to. If you respect the future version of yourself at all, you must do it.

The gym isnt the big problem, but it is an underlying issue to the overall problem. I use to go to the gym regularly but fell off and only go once or twice a week (2 times at most). Im in OK shape, im 5'8 155. I just am not doing anything to achieve my goal of my ideal body....

Then get to it.

And get to your other problems. NOW.

The idea is to start fixing up all these small things and start doing something about it.
You have heard all this before, you know what you have to do. It's all up to you now. Hold yourself accountable and keep visualising how much better you will feel about yourself when you start working towards and achieving your goals.
